Speaking of San Francisco, Giants DLed Hunter Pence and brought up Mac Williamson today. The next couple of weeks could very well determine the trajectory of Williamson's career. One would assume that if he can hold down RF in Pence's absence, Giants will keep on the MLB roster as the starter in LF and thus allow him an opportunity to escape the AAAA gravity well he's presently stuck in.

Worst division in baseball is easily the NL East. Gnats should coast even with no bullpen.

It's early, but it's looking like there are no "Strong" divisions in baseball right now... but if I had to put money on the "stronger" divisions it's of course the AL east, NL Central, and surprisingly the NL West.

I don't at all buy that Wheeler's been better than deGrom. But yeah, not what I was expecting (and it's less a compliment towards Wheeler than an indictment of the rest of the staff, as Wheeler has pitched more or less to expectation).

A few weeks ago, I said that the self-immolation was premature. Beginning to reconsider that.
